Ryke's Bakery
quaint, unique, comfortable
great salads, bean burritos, soups, chowders
cakes, cookies, sweet rolls
a culinary cornerstone in West Michigan since 1937
ownership changed recently, we were curious
and
hungry

What a fun trip! I love the photos on the tables. That's such a neat way to display the store's history and meaning in the community!

I love those houses. Maybe we need a Michigan vacation?
LOVE the ' How To Bake A Cake ' .... brilliant.

Well, if I get over to Muskegon, I know where I'm going! Looks like a fabulous and fun day. (And what a great sign!)

I'm Valerie from Cottage Making Mommy.
Nice to meet you.

What a fun thing to do. HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY.
I'm tired just reading How to Bake a Cake. I would have called Ryke's in the first place. I love the photos under glass on the tables and the mirrors on the wall. Fun place. Those old homes are great! Happy St. Paddy's Day, Lynne. Hugs, Nancy
Top of the mornin to ya! Hope you're having a wonderful St. Patrick's Day!
Happy St Pattys Day Lynne..Don't you just love eat in bakery's?? Those houses are gorgeous..
Happy St. Paddy's Day to you! The bakery looks like a great place for lunch and yummy baked goods. I love those two old mansions. Houses sure had some great style and fanciness back then and so did wrought iron fences. Have a great day!
Mmmm the bakery sounds yummy. That sign was funny. Those homes are amazing snd the iron work fencing is fabulous.
Happy St. Patrick's Day, my love!! From one Irish lass to another.. HUGE HUGS!
I played Galway Bay, When Irish Eyes Are Smiling..and every other Irish song I could find in my books. My sons still go back once a year. They took some of their father's ashes and each let them go in the winds...the rest will wait for me.
Sending love.
Mona
Lovely shots...Happy St. Patrick's Day!
